  abstract     = {{The IRFU*/DIS software control team is involved from feasibility studies to the deployment of equipment covering low level (hardware, PLC) to high level (GUI supervision). For our experiments, we are using two mains frameworks: - MUSCADE, a full Java in-house solution embedded SCADA dedicated to small and compact experiments controlled by PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), only compatible with Windows Operating System (OS) for the server side. - EPICS, a distributed control systems to operate devices such as particle accelerators, large facilities and major telescopes, mostly deployed on Linux OS environments. EPICS frameworks provides several languages for bindings and server interfaces such as C/C++, Python and Java. However, most of the servers also called IOC developed in the community are based on C/C++ and Linux OS System. EPICS also provides extensions developed in Java such as the EPICS Archiver Appliance, Phoebus Control-Studio (GUI), and Display Web Runtime (Web Client). All these tools depend on CAJ (a pure Java implementation Channel Access Library). Today, MUSCADE users use to work under Windows, and they need intuitive tools that provide the same features than MUSCADE. Thus, research and development activities mainly focus on EPICS solution adaptation. It aims to explore further CAJ library, especially on the server side aspect. In order to achieve this goal, several developments have been carried out since 2018. }},
